. At 6-foot-4, he’s an excellent on-ball defender and his versatility on the offensive end is very intriguing. Achufusi should only continue to improve over time, and has a real chance to be a special player if he keeps working hard.
CORY BARNES | 6’2 G | ARCHBISHOP CARROLL ’20
Cory Barnes has firmly established himself as one of the best on ball defenders not just in the city, but the region and nationally. One thing that stood out about his performance today was the energy he gives his teammates.
BROCK DAVIS | 6’4 F | GEORGETOWN DAY ’22
Brock Davis is a nice prospect who stood out as a result of his high motor and ability to rebound out of his area. One thing he could work on his his free throw shooting. Davis made just one of his four free throw attempts, but it was encouraging to see him earn those opportunities.
RONALD GROSE | 5’6 PG | MCKINLEY TECH ’20
One of the most underrated guards in the city has to be Ronald Grose Ronald Grose 5'7" | PG McKinley Tech | 2020 State MD . He isn’t the flashiest or biggest guard, and he won’t wow you with a high offensive output, but he locks up, handles it and can run the show at a high level.
AMANI HANSBERRY | 6’7 C | ST. JOHN’S ’23
Amani Hansberry is a flat out post technician. His footwork, touch, and post moves are very advanced for a young player. Hansberry recorded double figure rebounds in both games today, showcasing good hands and instincts when attacking the ball.
JARED TURNER | 6’4 SG | GONZAGA ’22
The first thing that stood out about
Jared Turner
Jared
Turner
6'8" | SF
Gonzaga | 2022
State
MD
when he walk into the gym on Saturday is that he’s grown at least one or two inches since the spring. The second was how well he shot the ball, but this did not come as a surprise. He’s not hugging the three point line either. Turner has in the gym range, and if you don’t plan properly, he can hit several in a row and completely wreck your game plan.
